CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Time is precious.  We have a limited amount in this life before we get to be with our Heavenly Father.  Use it wisely and do not take the time with YHWH, family, friends, and yourself lightly.  Cherish every minute.  Spending time with strong male friends is just as important as spending time with your family.  It is okay to take time for yourself to recharge.  Even Yeshua went away to spend time with his Father and to be by himself.

5 PAX. Solid turnout on a Saturday!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Had an odd dream that exemplified my state of life right now. I knew something was off when I started grating the dirt in my living room to get ready for seeding. Then a big rain storm hit and the roof was leaking like crazy! I went to get buckets to catch the water, and all I had were plant pots that have the holes in the bottom. When the rain stopped, my M was like, “we should think about hiring someone to help us with this house.”

I wanted to talk about asking for help. Don’t be like dream me and wait until things are falling apart to ask for help. On the flipside, I think I could do a better job opening up more of my time, not for “me time” but for the sake of being available when a brother asks for help. Let’s lock shields this week, men!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 7:13-14 “13 g“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy1 that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and hthe way is hard that leads to life, and ithose who find it are few.”

Reflecting on this verse in my daily Bible reading, I was struck by the “gate is narrow and those who find it are few.” Perhaps one reason it is hard to find is that there are so many truths being screamed at all of us, and all are said to be equally valid. The law of non-contradiction says that can’t be true. Living a personal “truth” that is not congruent with God’s absolute truth as revealed in the Bible will not lead to the good life now, eternal life, or flourishing. That only comes from not just embracing, but also submitting to the truth of our Lord. I know that isn’t a popular message today, but encouraging people to live their “truth” if their “truth” is harmful isn’t loving at all. It’s like letting at toddler play in the middle of Alcoa Highway because we are worried we might upset them. Sometimes we have to be the ones to tell a hard truth, even if that hard truth conversation is just one we have with ourselves. God’s truth should set us free. God’s truth leads us to redemption, instead of enslaving us to our own lusts. Praying for you men, and have a great rest of the week.
